Yolky, the 5200 is not going to set any speed records for rendering the game. Be prepared to turn down quality and turn some things off.

AHH PHOOPHY. How come I would have to turn it down? I can play Morrowind with all the settings at max?

Oh well, I don't know much about graphic cards anymore, it's been awhile since I bought my last one. This one came with the computer all I know is that it worked for me untill now, hoping it will still work.

As long as the game is fun, that is all I care about, I don't care too much about graphics.

These are the requirements for Morrowind:

Minimum System Requirements:
* Windows Me/98 128MB RAM
* Windows XP/2000 256MB RAM (Windows NT NOT supported)
* 500mhz Intel Pentium III, Celeron, or AMD Athlon processor.
* 8x CD/DVD-ROM Drive
* 1 GB free hard disk space
* Windows swapfile
* DirectX 8.1 (included)
* 32MB Direct3D Compatible Video card and DirectX 8.1 compatible driver
* DirectX 8.1 Compatible Sound Card
* Keyboard, Mouse

Recommended System Requirements:
* 800mhz or faster Intel Pentium III or AMD Athlon
* 256 MB RAM
* Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS, ATI Radeon 7500 or faster video card

That's a big difference from what Civ 4 requires. Morrowind is a fairly old game, it's been out for over three years now.
